Brief Answer:
Pregnancy likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The persistent positive pregnancy test is suggestive of pregnancy.
In this situation, you should get a blood test for beta-HCG along with Trans Vaginal Sonography (TVS scan) to get detailed picture.
The mild brownish discharge can be due to implantation bleeding or early miscarriage. Ectopic pregnancy also needs to be ruled out after ultrasound scan.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Brief Answer:
Mild bleeding is normal if HCG is rising.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Just a mild bleeding during early pregnancy is normal if it is an implantation bleeding. But we need to do an ultrasound scan to confirm this. I can understand your concern regarding the pregnancy. Proper investigations are needed to find the cause of bleeding so that it can be stopped with the help of medicines. Do consult a gynecologist for further guidance. Taking the medication without a proper diagnosis will not help.
